“My name’s Sharla, and I just love your outfits.”
She smiled.
“Thanks,” he said. “The name’s Tyrone. This here is Daisy, my sub. Daisy, say hi.”
“Hi,” she said, repeating his command.
“Hey, is there any reason your dom isn’t here?” he asked. “Did he allow you to talk to me?”
“Yes, as a matter of fact, he told me to go find a couple who were in for some … experimenting.”
He lowered his glasses. “Oh? Do tell.”
“Well … he wants me to have a nice play session with another dom. I just saw you standing there across the room, and I thought, ‘I’d love to try it with him.’ You just seemed so … alluring.” I winked.
His eyes narrowed. “And is there anything your dom demanded in return?”
“Nope, nothing. He gets his pleasure knowing someone else had me.”
Tyrone grinned and bit his lip. “Well, well. Isn’t that nice.”
He put his glasses away, and Daisy curled her arm around his.
“I’m thinking that’s a mighty fine deal.”
“Oh, it is. I just want to be with another dom so badly, and you seem just my type,” I said flirtatiously. It seemed to do the trick.
“All right, then. Come with me.” He held out his arm for me to lash onto, and I willingly went along with them.
They walked out the play room and we went up the stairs again. I wondered where they were taking me, and my nerves were killing me at the same time. I couldn’t believe I’d just made all that up, and that I’d actually succeeded in separating them from the crowd. My clothes were soaking wet though. Either it was very hot in there, or I was trembling with fear. I just hoped this would all go like planned.
“I like to have some privacy on special occasions,” Tyrone said.
We went to the other end of the storage hall, where there was a tiny office. He fiddled with the door until it was unlocked and stepped inside, waiting for us to come too.
“This here is the room we use when we want some alone time,” he said. “Most guests don’t know about it, but I’ve got special permission from the boss to use this.”
“Oh? You mean the boss of the play party?”
He nodded. “I have some business with a couple of customers here.”
“What kind of business?”
He smirked and shook his head a bit. “That’s none of your concern.”
Daisy’s lips were pursed, and she gawked at me. Sweat drops were rolling down my spine. Her gaze freaked me out.
With slow steps she walked toward me. “Tell me … what was going on in your mind that you thought of proposing this to us?” Her voice ended in a high pitch.
Suddenly she jerked the mask off my head.
Her pupils dilated. Her mouth dropped open, but quickly turned into a sneer. “I knew it. Julie Valentine.” She grabbed my wrist and squeezed it hard, creating a red mark on my skin. “Who put you up to this? Was it your sweet little Dominic? Huh? Did that useless motherfucker tell you to risk your life?” She let me go and shoved me against the wall.
“Did you honestly believe you could sneak in here without me recognizing you? How fucking stupid do you think I am?”
She smacked me across the face, and I winced.
“You kidnapped me,” I said.
“Damn right I did. And if Dom hadn’t fucked with us we’d be long gone out of your lives right now, but no, he had to fake his way out of it. Did you think we’d let him get away with that?”
“You shot him!” I screamed.
She slapped me again, and Tyrone just stood there watching us with amusement. “We want our money back,” she said.
“You made me believe you were my friend!” I yelled.
I tried to fight the tears swarming my eyes, because I didn’t want her to see my pain. I still wasn’t done. I needed more confessions. Sharon and the cops needed to hear this. All of it.
Her lip curled up into an ugly smile. “You gullible little girl. Of course I made you believe that. You were a pawn from the start, just like Dominic.”
“Why? Why are you doing this to him? You had a vendetta with his father, not him! Why are you trying to ruin our lives?”
Tyrone chortled and stepped in. “Dominic Fury’s rich. Casinos are dangerous. Comes with the job. Besides, I wasn’t going to let his old man take my money to the grave. It was my money, and I wanted it back.”
She sighed. “If I’d known the casino owed a lot of cash to my dom here, I would’ve never have hooked up with Dominic.”
“Hooked up?” I gasped.
She laughed. “Why do you think I know so much about him? Dominic was my ex, you stupid girl!”
